How do people keep blogging when they have their fingers in so many pies. I just can’t seem to do it. The more I have on, the more difficult it becomes to blog. Where should I focus?
Recently I have been:
keeping an eye on CCK09 and trying to keep up with how CCKo9 participants have been taking [...]

David White’s description of the way in which people use the internet as being like the behaviours of visitors or residents has captured my interest this week. A link to his blog and his video were posted in a CCK09 forum this week. Roy in his post – Thursday, 22 October 2009, 05:29 AM – has [...]

Mike Bogle’s reflection on his presentation skills – http://techticker.net/2009/08/27/self-assessment-of-my-presentation-skills/ – strikes a chord with me. I always unpick my ‘performance’ in detail after a presentation or a course, either online or offline – but I tend not to do it in public as Mike has done.

Gilly Salmon’s 5-stage model provides very good guidelines on how to prepare for collaborative tasks online. These are usually designed into Stage 4 of [...]

My third question in this series (from the list I posted) is: How has your role changed as a result of working with technology?
Recently – it hasn’t changed a lot, since I have been working and teaching online for a number of years now. Just writing this has made me wonder whether I am in [...]

How do you ensure that learners engage with the technology?
This is the second question from my list and my immediate response is similar to my initial thoughts about the last question. My primary concern, as a teacher, is to engage learners with learning. Technology is only a tool – a means to an end.
Most of my career [...]

I have recently been asked a series of questions about my work as an online education consultant.
Tell me how and why you use technology in your teaching.

I’m definitely feeling the absence of a reading this week. It feels like a critical week and yet, at the moment, for me there is something missing.

Well, we’re moving on to Week 2 and I haven’t even got ‘What is connectivism?’ sorted yet. I was beginning to despair but have just come across this – posted in one of the forums and probably elsewhere – An interview with George Siemens on Connectivism
